Karen Marchetti - Creative Longarm Quilting

If you’ve already started building your stitch library, it’s time to explore what those stitches can really do. Build-A-Stitch 3 focuses on the creative possibilities that open up once you understand the core movements from the Build-A-Stitch series. Instead of learning new stitches, this class shows you how to use the stitches you already know in smarter, more versatile ways. Karen demonstrates how simple stitch shapes can transform when you begin to work with mirror images, structured shapes, and flowing arrangements. You’ll see how the same stitches can be adapted to fill common quilt spaces such as squares and flying geese, and how those same movements can evolve into feather-style designs and borders. The goal of this class is to help you start thinking differently about the stitches you already have. With just a few adjustments in direction, spacing, and layout, a basic stitch can become dozens of design options. Because this class focuses on application rather than stitch construction, it is recommended that you have already taken Build-A-Stitch or Build-A-Stitch 2, or are already familiar with the stitches introduced in those classes. By the end of the class, you’ll see how a small library of stitches can unlock nearly unlimited design possibilities for your quilting.
